I have never had a problem at all with the regular fireline. Try 14 lb. for light stuff, and 20 lb for medium all around duty, and 30 lb if the line will be rubbing rocks qute often.

I'm with Slip, unless it's more then a few years old it's got to be XDS which was intended for casting reels and didn't seem to impress anyone. Berkley did at one point make 50# Fireline; I may still have a spool of it somewhere, it was like cable though so I never used it.
Strength wise I think 30# Fireline corresponds to 50# Power Pro. Fireline has always seemed under rated while Power Pro may be over. I've never done any scientific testing or anything, but that's what it feels like.
